The Daily Mail says that Everton have asked Chelsea whether they can have Lukaku for another season but are waiting to see if there are any developments in the interest from Atletico Madrid for the striker.

Ba is currently on £80,000 a week but the Daily Mail reports that Everton and Chelsea are still "some distance apart from his personal terms".

Everton have also made an enquiry about Adama Traore at Barcelona having had success with landing Gerard Deulofeu last season.
